This weekend Socialtext launched a Europe Proxy Server to provide a five-fold performance increase for Socialtext Personal (free for five users) and Professional users. While many of our European customers, including Nokia and DrKW, have opted for Enterprise deployment behind the firewall, Europe has caught the wiki (and blog!) bug, and performance is a key usability factor.
Socialtext's hosting network enables users to collaborate across the pond in the same wiki with similar performance. Users in Europe are directed through eu.socialtext.net, a London-based server, to access the same wikis the rest of the world does through www.socialtext.net. Remember, wiki wiki means very quick in Hawaiian.
Leave it to the first wiki company to be the first with an international hosting network. What will this great little company think of next? Probably something our users thought of first.
